Cragg Nook Cottage South, Lazonby, Penrith, Cumbria

Situated in a most idyllic situation, in an elevated position with far reaching pastoral views to the front, and with a woodland back drop to the rear, an outstanding opportunity to acquire a 3 bedroom, sandstone, former estate cottage, with generous gardens and grounds, in all circa 0.56 acres.

Offered to the market with no onward chain, this is an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a charming and highly sought-after sandstone cottage in one of the area’s most desirable settings. Constructed from local red sandstone and enjoying a stunning backdrop of Groves’ Wood, the property occupies a peaceful position surrounded by nature. To the front, there are views over lush Eden Valley countryside towards the North Pennine hills.

The property has been well maintained and while presented in good overall order, it would now benefit from general modernisation and improvement and has been priced accordingly. Prospective purchasers requiring mortgage finance are advised to seek appropriate guidance.

Originally built as a former estate worker’s cottage, the property sits within a substantial plot extending to approximately 0.56 acres. Set well back from the road, it enjoys formal gardens to both the front and rear, generous off-road parking to the side, and excellent potential for further enhancement and ancillary uses, subject to the necessary consents and permissions.

The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hall, a kitchen dining room to the front elevation, a living room overlooking the rear garden, and a four-piece family bathroom to the ground floor.

To the first floor are three bedrooms together with a separate WC.

The property is located just over 1.5 miles from the village of Lazonby, a thriving and picturesque community set within the scenic Eden Valley. The village offers excellent local amenities including a shop, church, public house and open-air swimming pool, and lies on the historic Settle–Carlisle railway line. There is also excellent access to the M6, with Penrith and Carlisle both reachable in under 20 minutes.

Properties of this nature and setting are always in strong demand, and early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the
opportunity on offer.
